PATRICK HORGAN / CATHERINE McDERMOTT

[MAMC]

Am trying to trace the decendants of Patrick Horgan and his wife Catherine McDermoth who left Cork possibly between 1879 and 1904.  This man is also my granfathers much older brother.  The only information I have at this time is that he was born in Cork Ireland on 11th June 1859 to John Horgan and Mary Horgan (nee Leahy). He married Catherine McDermott or (McDermoth) in St. Peter & Pauls Church Cork on 14th June 1879.

The only details I have with regard to his journey to America is on his brothers's  army records which gives next of kin "Patrick Horgan America".

Possible children for Patrick and Catherine:

John Horgan born 23 Dec 1886 in New York - https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:2WMV-C1T  Patrick's age was listed as 28, so that would fit fairly closely with the info you have.

Grace Ellen Horgan born 29 Nov 1897 in New York - https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:2W34-13N

If that's them, this 1900 census seems to fit - https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MSKZ-CYL

Dear Shellyesq,
Many thanks for taking the time to reply to my request.  I'm not  sure we have the correct Patrick Horgan as when I checked on the birth of his Son John it says "Father born in America" and my Patrick was born in Cork Ireland.

Dear Shellyesq,

That could very well be wrong information given by the informant or in transcription - the details for the daughter Grace say father born Ireland  (and the mother born US  )
Wouldn't discount.
